For those in Rita's path -- our prayers are with you

It's so, so sad. When I caught the news that one of the levees broke in New
Orleans, to see all that destruction again, people losing everything, the
refugees from Katrina being hammered once again, it's so painful. I can't
begin to express how much it hurts to see people hurt so much. I'm so, so
sorry for all the losses. And I do hope and pray that somewhere in all of
this some good can be found.
FWIW, we're donating wherever we can -- it doesn't seem much, but most big
stores are asking customers to tack a dollar or their change to the relief
effort, busloads volunteers have put themselves in harm's way to help,
Vancouver's search and rescue team were in New Orleans withing hours and
they'll move on down the coast as needed, kids inschools are pooling their
lunch money are foregoing trips to the candy store to send to the Red Cross.
It makes me proud.
I'm also very proud of the way the Canadian lumber industry has moved to
consume piles of future stock to provide for the rebuilding. They're
supposed to be for our future but how can we hold on to it when our fellows
are suffering? There's even talk of donating boatloads of wood to New
Orleans to get the rebuilding started.
You suffer, we suffer. Simple as that. I wanted to let you know that you
don't stand alone.
